Nintendo can change the gender of their Zelda series hero, as the character is far from consistent anyway.
Screen Rant, "The return of one controversial character could have an incredible effect on The Legend of Zelda, prompting the introduction of new features."
Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her
Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.
Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."
Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before
Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.
I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
Changing Link's gender for the sake of changing his gender and nothing else would feel completely empty and forced. It would be as pointless as making Zelda a male.
Hyrule Warriors did it best where most of its playable cast were strong playable female characters who had their own substance. Link shouldn't have rule 64 applied to him just to please SJW. I'd rather have another strong female character with her own character depth be added to the series.
There is no reason for him to be a lady either. Why change something for no good reason?
Also lol at the article title originally saying "No reason why zelda shouldn't be a lady" then editing it.
Except maybe it's setting up a romance between Link and a female lead, like his companion or Zelda or maybe there's a reason in the story for him to be a boy.
Whoever is behind this.. Just stop.
Link will always be a guy there are many females in hyrule to pick a lead from. This article makes zero sense
